The Overview

Hidden within a monolithic complex, the whimsical Cat Socrates is an indie bookstore–café crammed with knick-knacks and novelty items, from pretty sketchbooks to nostalgic tin toys, all sourced by husband-and-wife owners Brett and Hellen Zhang on their trips around Asia. The café is bohemian hangout, and a great place to linger over a cappuccino.
